Aged Gouda, one of the world's most sought-after cheeses, has been made in the Netherlands for over 800 years. Beemster makes theirs in North Holland, where the grazing land is pure and lush. Easy to distinguish, it is the dairy world's equivalent of a Rembrandt or Van Gogh. This edible opus magnum has been matured for eighteen months, allowing its body to develop a muted caramel color, matched by an intense flavor with a sweet finish. The transformation that mild, somewhat ordinary Gouda undergoes during its aging process is simply amazing. Aged Gouda has many layers of nuanced flavor, and its texture lends itself well to shredding or chunking.

Beemster's production is located in Northern Holland, famous for its rich milk and fertile grazing land. Discover one of the world's dairy masterpieces.

This has become my new favorite cheese. This Gouda is sharp and has a lot of favor. It is great with wine but also melted on toast or an English muffin.

Very good cheese

I love the flavor of longer aged Gouda cheese but they're so hard for me to cut and eat. With this 18-month Beemster Gouda you get the best of everything: Delicious flavor, easy to cut and easy to chew. Many cheese eaters are now LoCarb and this is a must have if you're on a LoCarb diet. It has a nice amount of sodium in it yet doesn't taste like sodium.

I thought I didn't like Gouda but I was wrong

This cheese is delicious. It's a hard cheese, but not hard to cut and eat easily. The taste was sweet with a hint of butterscotch flavor. I will be ordering this again. If you've had gouda and didn't care for it, try this one! I'm glad I did.

Not My Cup of Tea

I'm not sure what rating to give this one because it's clearly high-quality cheese (5 out of 5) but for me the taste was way too intense and the texture was almost like a shaving cheese. I ate it with salami slices, which were fabulous with other cheeses, but this 18-month aged gouda was decidedly disagreeable. Just personal preference here, not the cheesemaker's problem; I won't be purchasing any aged gouda from anyone anywhere.
